Will gold keep its hold?

MONOCLE
About this episode

With the yellow metal having rallied sharply to hit new highs, our panel explains whether they think gold will keep its hold on investors. Giovanni Staunovo and Wayne Gordon from UBS explain why the policy and risk environment, and structural demand, are combining to point to continued medium-term upturn in the price. Plus: why geopolitical fears and election-related risks continue to justify holding gold as a portfolio hedge.
